This emo project series originated from my text msgs with close ones. When the emotionally charged messages were not answered and left in vain, or perhaps even not appropriate to communicate, I can’t help wondering their whereabouts, perhaps they fell into the cracks of virtual space, or were lost in the glitches of telecommunication web and stuck in the abyss of amnesia forever to be known. Fantasies of them landed on top of the old building, on a street corner, or just leaning next to a dirty rubbish bin. The idea of the possibility one day I may catch a glimpse of them metabolize these wonderings. Random locations were chosen for large glowing personal text messages in urban spaces, that have a quality of being abandoned, overlooked or ignored, or too banal to be appreciated.  It reminds me thinking of those places where all the communications felt through and became impossible.”

“情绪工程项目”系列源于我私人短信息,当它们作为情感的载体和媒介传递失效,或者因为不太恰当时空关系而变得袅无音讯。我总会好奇它们到底去了哪儿, 是掉在了虚拟空间的缝隙中, 还是丢失在电信网络的错乱编码中,  卡在失忆的时空深渊里永不可寻. 它们是否也会恰好落在建筑顶上,街头,荒地,或在湖的岸边, 甚至倚靠在垃圾桶的傍边。这个系列就是为了纪念那些情绪复杂的, 那些吞吞吐吐的, 那些言不达意的, 那些不知所云的, 那些欲言又止的时刻。语言之无力,沟通之无能。
